Buckle up for a packed episode start-to-finish as we welcome in special guest and a long-time friend of the guys, Garland Gillen of Fox 8 Sports in New Orleans. Recorded the day before Saints veterans reported to training camp, Garland brings it in this episode with his Saints analysis and insider perspective into what to look for, what to expect, and players to watch as the Saints report to camp on Airline Drive. But, we don’t stop at training camp! If you live in New Orleans and tune in to local sports broadcasts or just follow the Saints, you’ve undoubtedly seen our guy Garland (aka, the G Man!) on the air or social media. If not, you’ll quickly become aware on the pulse he has on all aspects of the local sports scene – college, high school, even soccer (or for our British friends, the other “football”). We get into pretty much all of it. Since Garland and Max go way back, including to Max’s restaurant days, this episode has no shortage of talking NOLA food and restaurant scene. As is often the case whenever the guys strike up a convo with Garland, “food and football” are often the main course. Be sure to listen through as we also get Garland’s take on some local high school recruiting scoop, including last year’s Arch Manning recruitment and the recently named No. 1 RB Prospect in the country, prepping locally at St. Martin’s High School in Metairie. If you don’t know about him, you will after this episode. Also, we talk about Garland’s streaming appearance on Hulu’s Algiers, America. Great insight you definitely don’t want to miss. LISTEN IN! WHO DAT?!
